Hi friends. Welcome to a new segment of Bacon and Legs I’m calling Around the World In Tasty Days. I’m not making up any recipes here. I’m just reading about other countries and learning what they like to eat for breakfast, and then trying them out myself. I think it’s crazy how trapped we are…

Get ready to Chang your point of view. Do you watch Community? I’m sure you do. Everyone I know watches it, yet it had shitty ratings. That tends to be how it is for a lot of my shows. The poorly written, cliche-filled laugh track comedies get to live on for years and years while…

For breakfast, scrambles are the tits. It’s simple and fucking delicious every time. I was throwing shit together the other day and it turned out so well that I had to write it down. This isn’t one of my egg white healthy shits. It’s got potatoes and sausage and cheese and it’s exactly what you’re…

Having just moved to Ohio, I have very few friends in the area. I was pumped when this wonderful, charming girl (who I kinda know) wanted to hang out. Friend date! I offered to cook for her. She said she liked Mexican food and cheese and she tries to steer clear of gluten. I love…

We’re halfway through Hanukkah and on our way to Christmas. Living in a household that celebrates both holidays, I love combining them and making our own traditions. This year, I did just that by making some Gingerbread Challah. If there’s one thing that always disappoints about gingerbread, it’s that it’s not actual bread. If there’s…

I’ve been listening to some Christmas music… a lot of Christmas music… lately. But I’ve been actually listening to it and processing the lyrics. I have to say, I don’t like what I’m hearing. I’ve even put together my list of Top Five Most Fucked Up Christmas Songs. Merry Little Christmas – I thought this…

As I write this column, the snow is falling outside my new place in the Cleve. I have moved from my beloved Philadelphia, where I have been for my entire adult life, back to my home state. While I am sad that I will be leaving so many wonderful people and places behind, I am…

Perhaps my favorite fall flavor combo is sage and butternut squash. Following this blog might result in a bit of overkill with it. Too bad, deal with it! Here, we have a classic chicken pot pie… that has an amazing punch from black forest bacon… then the warm flavors of butternut squash and sage crisped…

I am by no means a huge Elvis fan. (My uncle is, though.) But I am, however, fascinated with the hubub around the Elvis Sandwich. Restaurants all over the country have some sort of a take on it. There’s even a whole section on it in his Wikipedia page. To quote Wikipedia, which I’m not…

Food bloggers can come up with awesome recipes. Ideas out of nowhere that are weird and amazing and delicious. But sometimes we overlook the classics. The things that have stood the tests of time. They are there for a reason. This is my homage to a classic. Carbonnade Flamande is a traditional Flemish beef and…
